Michele Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Following the "how to" in the tech archive seal change I bought the new seal and did the job on my own. I know it's the same thing but I took pics while under the LR and I thought it was a shame not to use them... So,park the LR on a flat ground. I had no flat ground around,but I have some flat pieces of wood I use when waxoyling the chassis. The Cube II is levelled: Parking brake still to be refitted(...) so more wood and some bricks to chock the wheels,and drained the diff oil: No zip tie around to keep the propshaft away so more wood In the pic the useful propshaft tool I finally bought from Difflock (but it's "made in Japan"!!!Or China,or something like!Go figure...!) and my long Beta torque wrench (made in Italy though) to undo the nylock nut Here's the old seal and surface rust on the splines First screwdriver I tried was too little. Back with the biggest one I found. Pry the old seal out and get oil all over the face Make mental note "wear goggles next time" Make another note "buy dad a new screwdriver" Clean and degrease before fitting the new seal Slightly grease the new seal and press it in place. Went in one side only so a professional tool is needed now. Find mom's vacuum cleaner and borrow this Refit flange,nylock nut (didn't find torque values though),propshaft... and now I'm ready for the next job HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 What did you use the vaccuum cleaner hose for, or are we not supposed to ask Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark90 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 That's what the old seal is for. And one of these will save you a few screwdrivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
